Italian Marinara Recipe

A quick and basic recipe for Italian Marinara. Top pizzas, sandwiches, or keep some around just for dipping sauce.

Feel free to make it your own by sweating some onions, or adding a cup of wine into the mix. While leaving out the olive oil almost feels like a sin, this flavor filled Italian gravy is a much healthier rendition.

If you're a carnivore and love meat in your spaghetti try using a chopped up low-fat turkey pepperoni in your marinara. It's a distinct familiar flavor that gives your pasta a truly eclectic taste.
